Nice Work If You Can Get It: Estranged Wife Says She Needs $53,000 A Week To Survive

Proof • December 20, 2008

Let’s get this out of the way right off. Yeah, I’m jealous. I want $53,000 a week, too. There. Now, moving right along….
Holy matrimony, Batman! That’s some lifestyle:

The estranged wife of United Technologies Chairman George David says she has weekly expenses of $53,000 – more than what half the households in America earn annually and higher than the cost of attending an Ivy League school for a year.
Pity poor Marie Douglas-David, 36, a stunning Swedish countess in the middle of a divorce. She has no job, no assets and must depend on the largesse of her 66-year-old hubby for her well-being.

Get this list of expenses:

So how does Douglas-David, a former investment banker for Lazard Asset Management, manage to spend $53,000 a week?
Mortgage and maintenance fees and rent for the Park Avenue penthouse, the Hamptons retreat and properties in Sweden account for $27,300 a week, according to a financial affidavit she filed with the court. And then there’s travel ($8,000), clothing ($4,500), a personal assistant ($2,209), horse care ($1,570), domestic help ($1,480), entertainment and restaurants ($1,500), health and skin care ($1,000), dry cleaning ($650), flowers ($600) and a trainer ($250).

A personal assistant who makes $2,209 a week? Damn. There must be some serious assisting going on there. $1,500 a week for restaurants and entertainment? 8 grand a week for travel? Where does she go in a week that costs $8,000? Every week? Yeeks.
Well, more power to her if she can pull this one off, I guess. If you can’t do well, marry well.
Looks like it may work for her.

Trophy wives aren’t cheap.
George David let his ego get out of control.

I believe it was Rod ‘The Mod’ Stewart who said, after one of his divorces, that instead of getting married again he was “Just going to find a woman I hate, and buy her a house.”

53000.00X52=2,756,000.00. Poor thing! she only wants close to three million. That’s nothing.
Y’all are suffering from class envy, because you could not afford to give your exes as much. Tsk! tsk!

In any divorce where the wife isn’t working, the judge gives them a grace period to come to a reasonable life style (if they were inflated beyond their means).

It’s outrageous that a trophy wife can demand three properties, then demand the money to take care of them.

This is per week Ellinas, not one lump sum. When your only contribution to the world is laying down…you don’t get to expect such nonsense.

Just wait till we start paying for our trophy wife, Brack Obama.

Sarcasm aside, some wisdom from my grandfather: “Be cautious as to where you insert your dick, and affix your signature. Both can haunt, and or burn you.”

Sound wisdom.

Kenny I was being sarcastic all along.

With all the foolish things you actually mean, I’m supposed to guess when you’re not being serious?

My trophy wife cost me everything I had, and it’s been worth every penny. And nowhere near $53k/week, either.

And I’m all for equitable distribution of marital assets in divorce court when that tragedy occurs, but please. $53k/week? I understand how they get there, but there comes a point where more money doesn’t make you any happier or more secure.

In fact, I dare suggest grabbing for this brass ring may be the cause of this woman’s misery. She got the bucks and the houses, but she sure doesn’t have happiness.

What happened to the notion of “equality” between the sexes?
RebTex

I got me one!
Only cost me 1/2 of everything I’ve got….
/which varies from not much to next to nothing…

I heard to never marry a woman with large hands because it’d always make your appendage look small…..

It’s certainly not the only reason I am still delighted with my first wife, but certainly this kind of nonsense does keep me away from the lawyers, too!

How ridiculous! A judge needs to equitably divide the assets and then this woman needs to go get herself a job and join the real world again.

And where did I claim a lump sum?

I don’t know how old you are Kenny, but what would you charge to copulate with a 66 year old woman?

That’s more than twice what I make in a year. I really don’t care what sort of lifestyle she’s gotten used to; if she doesn’t want to keep sleeping with the golden goose, as it were, then she needs to learn to adjust.
